Practical tips

💡
Book Ferries for High Season Early

During July and August, popular ferry routes to islands like Hvar and Korčula can sell out days in advance. Always book your catamaran or car ferry tickets online as soon as your travel dates are firm to avoid disappointment and ensure you secure your spot.

💡
Know Your Ports: Catamaran vs. Car Ferry

In Split, catamarans (foot passengers only) depart from the main passenger port, often near the Riva promenade. Car ferries (for vehicles and foot passengers) usually leave from a slightly different section of the port. Always double-check your ticket for the exact pier to avoid confusion.

💡
Island Town vs. Ferry Port

Be aware that on some islands, the main town (e.g., Hvar Town) might not be where the main car ferry port is located (e.g., Stari Grad on Hvar). Catamarans often serve the main towns directly, while car ferries might require a short bus transfer.

💡
Last Boat Back: Plan Ahead

If you're planning a day trip to an island, always check the schedule for the last return ferry or catamaran. Missing it could mean an unexpected overnight stay. Many island services reduce frequency outside peak summer.

💡
Use Reliable Online Booking Platforms

For buses and ferries, use trusted platforms like GetByBus for coaches or official operator websites (Jadrolinija, Kapetan Luka, TP Line) for ferries. Instant confirmation gives you peace of mind, especially for crucial connections.

🛣️ The journey experience

Navigating Croatia's stunning coastline and islands can seem daunting, but connecting between Trogir and Split is straightforward and hassle-free. As an independent traveller, you want to know instantly how to get from point A to point B, with clear options and honest travel times. For this short hop, the bus is your go-to, ensuring a quick and easy transfer to continue your Croatian adventure, whether it's exploring Split or catching a ferry for island hopping.

From Trogir to Split, the most practical and efficient transport option is undoubtedly the local bus. This journey typically costs around €5 and takes approximately 30 minutes, making it incredibly convenient and budget-friendly. Operators like Promet Split run frequent services throughout the day, ensuring you won't be left waiting long. While car ferries and catamarans are crucial for island connections, for this specific mainland route, the bus offers the best balance of speed, cost, and reliability.

Don't let the thought of complex island connections overshadow simple mainland transfers. While you'll need to plan ahead for summer ferries to Hvar or Korčula, knowing the right port and booking in advance, the Trogir-Split leg is a breeze. Buses run frequently, tickets are cheap, and the journey is short. This allows you to quickly settle into Split, famous for Diocletian's Palace, and focus your planning energy on those exciting longer journeys to the islands or even a side trip to Mostar or Kotor.
